OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Transform Your Outdoor Space into a Personal Paradise
Your outdoor living space is an extension of your home — a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors in comfort. Whether it’s a cozy patio, a stylish deck, or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, the ideal outdoor area should be inviting, functional, and tailored to your lifestyle. Most homeowners look to upgrade their outdoor living spaces when they feel the current setup lacks space, comfort, or visual appeal. Our design and construction teams are here to help you transform your backyard into the perfect getaway, right outside your door.
Designing an outdoor living area involves many important decisions — from choosing materials and layouts to incorporating features like built-in seating, fire pits, shade structures, and lighting. It can feel overwhelming, but with CQC Home, you’re in expert hands every step of the way.
To get inspired, we recommend browsing online for outdoor spaces that catch your eye, and don’t forget to check out our gallery of past outdoor projects. We’ll collaborate with you throughout the entire process and provide thoughtful recommendations to bring your vision to life.
We’ve helped countless homeowners make the most of their outdoor areas. And if you’re dreaming bigger, we have the experience to handle major renovations, additions, and custom structures to truly elevate your outdoor living experience.

Imagine stepping onto a deck that feels like a natural extension of your home—inviting, stylish, and designed just for you. A custom deck build gives you the opportunity to create an outdoor space that perfectly matches your vision and lifestyle.

SCREENED-IN PORCHES
CQC HOME
A screened-in porch allows you to enjoy the outdoors without the hassle of bugs, harsh sun, or unpredictable weather. It’s an ideal solution for homeowners who want a functional, semi-outdoor space that can be used comfortably throughout the warmer months. With options for ceiling fans, lighting, and durable screening materials, each porch is built to enhance airflow while providing protection and privacy. We tailor every design to suit your home’s layout and your lifestyle, whether it’s a quiet space for reading or a casual area for gatherings. A screened-in porch adds value, comfort, and flexibility to your home’s outdoor footprint.
SUNROOMS
CQC HOME
A sunroom is a smart way to expand your living space while bringing in natural light and outdoor views year-round. Whether used as a lounge area, reading nook, or multipurpose room, a custom sunroom offers the comfort of an indoor space with the open feel of the outdoors. From full-length windows and insulation to flooring and lighting, each element is chosen to ensure the space is both functional and energy-efficient. Our team will work with you to design a layout that complements your home’s structure and fits your day-to-day needs. A well-built sunroom not only adds square footage but also enhances the overall value and usability of your home.
OUTDOOR KITCHENS
CQC HOME
An outdoor kitchen brings convenience and functionality to your backyard, making it easy to cook, dine, and entertain without going indoors. From built-in grills and prep counters to storage, sinks, and refrigeration, each kitchen is designed to meet your specific cooking and hosting needs. Materials are selected for durability and weather resistance, ensuring long-term performance and minimal maintenance. Whether it’s a compact setup or a fully equipped culinary space, we’ll tailor the layout to suit your property and lifestyle. A custom outdoor kitchen adds value, streamlines outdoor entertaining, and transforms your backyard into a complete living space.
OUTDOOR FIREPLACES
CQC HOME
An outdoor fireplace creates a focal point that adds warmth, ambiance, and year-round usability to your outdoor living space. Whether built as part of a patio, porch, or standalone feature, it offers a cozy atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining. With a range of material and design options—such as stone, brick, or stucco—your fireplace can be customized to complement your home’s exterior and landscape. We’ll help you plan the layout, seating, and integration with surrounding features to ensure it functions as both a visual anchor and a gathering space. A well-designed outdoor fireplace enhances comfort, extends seasonal use, and elevates the overall experience of your backyard.
